Chrome Family Safety Extension

Please help us improve our Chrome addon. What do you like? What don’t you like? What can we change or add to the browser? I personally read every piece of feedback that comes in and I try my best to reply to every one of them also.

Most of the time and the sites kids will try go in will be innocent enough but having them see that every time they try to go somewhere they shouldn't only peaks the curiosity and will actually encourage them to find out what it is. A quick change here would be a good idea. Right now it's a deal breaker for me and I'll wait to see if it's updated before I reactivate it.

I’m not sure I understand what it is you dislike. Would you please provide a little more info? If you are saying we shouldn’t have a block page, that’s impossible to change because we don’t just have kids using our software. And it must be possible to dispute a blocked page in case it’s wrong.

We plan to offer a monitoring service in the coming months. We will look at adding an email update to see if it’s something we can do along with “alerts” based on specific keywords that are used to search.

Typing a pornographic search into google generally returns at least 2-3 accessible **** sites (generally 3rd party sites), and nothing else. This makes it easy to find the few sites that ARE accessible. How can I avoid this problem?

My name is Shivanshu Rathore, a citizen of India and also a user of MetaCert extension for Google Chrome browser. I would love to keep this mail as short as possible and to gather your attention on this mail also.

A little introduction about myself and the reason why you should pay a very little attention to my mail is that, i am a freelancer manual exploratory tester. I wont say the thing which i am concerned about, is a bug, but a suggestion it is.

Metacert takes in a password and email id, and to make changes to the settings, password has to be entered. otherwise it will keep on blocking adult content. The only problem that i found out is, instead of knowing the password of Metacert to gain access to adult sites, one can easily open the browser and disable Metacert from the extensions page. Since, chrome doesn't give priority to putting password to Chrome, a person can easily disable Metacert from Chrome Settings.

So, i would like you to consider this observation, as the main purpose of Metacert is to block adult content, which is not happening in such cases. I have also prepared a Test Report on it, and willing to pass it on if this looks serious to you.

​Thank You. ​

Hey Paul,

My name is Shivanshu Rathore, a citizen of India and also a user of MetaCert extension for Google Chrome browser. I would love to keep this mail as short as possible and to gather your attention on this mail also.

The first thing I looked for to test the product out was adult, it brought up adult swim at the top and I was able to watch the videos on their site. I was hoping to avoid nudity and persuasive content like adult cartoons. I selected almost all of the child blocks except for violence.

Thank you for the great work you do in content filtering. How can I set MetaCert to block the tiny adult-oriented ads, or what I call "junk" ads that appear on a lot of web sites? And not knowing what you consider "adult", I mean the stuff like Victoria Secrets, pictures of women with large breasts barely covered up and worse, or liberal type content. I am a Christian and conservative and know how this stuff can draw people in and eventually harm them. I want to be able to set up my PC to block this mess out so my family and I don't get exposed to it. Thank you for any advice.
